Struct Store 

pub struct Store { /* private fields */ }

Nix store for managing packages and derivations.

The store provides access to Nix packages, derivations, and store paths.

Implementations

impl Store

pub fn open(context: &Arc<Context>, uri: Option<&str>) -> Result<Self>

Open a Nix store.

Arguments

• context - The Nix context
• uri - Optional store URI (None for default store)

Errors

Returns an error if the store cannot be opened.

pub fn realize(&self, path: &StorePath) -> Result<Vec<(String, StorePath)>>

Realize a store path.

This builds/downloads the store path and all its dependencies, making them available in the local store.

Arguments

• path - The store path to realize

Returns

A vector of (output_name, store_path) tuples for each realized output. For example, a derivation might produce outputs like (“out”, path1), (“dev”, path2).

Errors

Returns an error if the path cannot be realized.

pub fn store_path(&self, path: &str) -> Result<StorePath>

Parse a store path string into a StorePath.

This is a convenience method that wraps StorePath::parse().

Arguments

• path - The store path string (e.g., “/nix/store/…”)

Errors

Returns an error if the path cannot be parsed.

Example

let ctx = Arc::new(Context::new()?);
let store = Store::open(&ctx, None)?;
let path = store.store_path("/nix/store/...")?;
